Is this ''passing gas'' etiquette?

[strmrdr]

the proper place to toot is the neighbors porch!
lol
That was a saying in my house growing up.

me I just toot away and sing the gassy song...ever tried to hold your breath and laugh at the same time hehehehehe I am mean lol

 

[Cind11]

This thread has been amusing and illuminating. I had no idea that people pass gas in front of eachother. The only times I have ever done that in front of my DH were by accident. And he never does it in front of me. Actually, I really dislike the word fart. I don''t know why. I must be repressed or something lol.

 

[HollyS]

Karl, you reminded me . . . DF has been conspicuously absent from this thread. Hmmm.

Does he not have an opinion?
Does he not toot?
Does he not associate with tooters?
Is he upset that he didn''t start this ''out of the blue'' thread himself?

We are waitng DF. Enlighten us.

 

[allycat0303]

Well we totally do NOT pass gas in front of each other (both of us), just because I think it''s nice to keep some things to ourselves! It''s kind of like going to the bathroom in front of your SO too. I don''t know, to me it would kill all romance/attractiveness so we never, never do that either. I actually shudder just at the thought of that.

 

[CdnBlingGal]

This thread is killing me.


Dh and I are good with farting (his term)/ fluffing or tooting (my terms) in each others'' company. It''s the SBD''s that choke me up. I try to get him to leave the room when he let''s one of those out.

 

[AprilBaby]

Fart happens...

 

[decodelighted]

Where do I go to vote for THIS as funniest thread! Oh my .... I''m a home tooter. Par Excellence! We are awful. We are like naughty schoolkids around here. But you kinda have to be. Our downstairs bathroom is LITERALLY an old closet. It''s tiny with no insulation & in the middle of DH''s office (my former office). At this point I make up songs about what''s going to happen when I get in there & sing them to him so he''s prepared. We both have gastro issues so if we weren''t able to be comfie around each other it would be constant tension 24/7. Who needs that? As if that would HELP the gastro issues ... on the contrary ...

And for all you gals who haven''t ever tooted in front of the fella ... really? During Sexy Time? NEVER? Ur doin it rong.

ummm.. I''ve always said that if I''m not comfortable enough to fart in front of my boyfriend, it''s just NOT going to work out between us.

Initially when we first start dating, of course, it''s avoided and embarrassing.. but come on! eventually you spend so much time together how can you hold it?!

Ditto. And... erm... sometimes one slips out in rather ... inconvenient and intimate moments. If you don''t have a good sense of humor about it in general, that can be wicked embarrasing!

I fart in front of DH. Not so much with anyone else.

Unless I''m drunk. In which case I have no control over it.

I have a great poot story from my high school days!

I was bowling with a group of girlfriends, Cosmic Bowling I believe they called it--the alley turned off all their lights and turned on black lights, played ridiculous music, and had a bunch of black light posters all over the place.

Well, a good friend of mine (who was a noted pooter, anyway) walks up to the lane to take her turn, and *just* as she swung her ball back the following circumstances all collided:

- The bowling alley suddenly, accidentally stopped the music and turned on the normal lights
- My friend flung her ball backwards, as in behind herself so it hurtled towards all the poor, innocent bystanders watching her bowl
- She flung around to face everyone after she released the ball, fell onto her back with her legs splayed out in the air, and let out the loudest poot I have ever heard in my life. It literally echoed against the walls of the then-silent alley.

Oh my gosh, we *still* give her crap about that. It was so deliciously hysterical to our fifteen-year-old selves.

This is the same friend of mine who ate an entire styrofoam cone in a McDonald''s in Poland because she thought it was just a stale old *real* cone. She is so good to have around when you''re feeling down.

Yeah, where is DF? He strikes me as the SBD type. . . .

And, just because you haven''t heard your farts, doesn''t mean other people haven''t smelled them.

Thritto- I mean I don''t do it at work or in public, but if I can''t be comfortable with my FI we would have major issues. I remember the first time I did it in front of him- he egged it out of me. In my family we have a TON of stomach issues so we have never been shy about bodily functions. I have IBS, ulcers my brother has chrones etc... I am curious how some ladies will do when they give birth- are the husbands just going to stay at the head or leave the room? God knows what happens with your bowels during labor.

 

[MonkeyPie]

I would LOVE to find one woman that did not fart with no control during pregnancy. Sorry ladies, but if you plan on having kids, that ridiculous bit of embarrassment will go right out the window!

My husband and I are fine with it. After a particularly hilarious tickling session that resulted in my first ever poot around him, all bets were off!

farSo, I apologize for being so blunt, but this post comes after having had a conversation with my friend.


Now, I am not sure if she has had etiquette training or this is just something that wealthy women do or are taught in like debutant training, but she told me that she does not pass gas in front of her husband. She says she goes to the bathroom and lets it rip there (those are my words, not hers...

) and has not let her husband hear her do it.


I don''t think this is cultural. She is Caucasian and lives in Orange County, CA. She also has a 2 ct. diamond engagement ring...is that what I am doing wrong?

Um, not to offend anyone, but I thought that is what all polite people did. At least go away from other people. That is what my SO does, and what I do as well. I would be mortified if he heard me pass gas. I mean, only my brother still thinks it''s funny to let ''er rip anywhere he is, regardless of company...

Well, him and the dog...

And I''m black, with no ring, and have lived in Baltimore, LA, Kansas City and Raleigh, so I''m going to agree that it''s probably not cultural...

''

yes it''s polite to walk away and let it rip elsewhere but when it comes to my husband and the small apt we share...he can''t get away from the blast! I''m SO comfortable with him that we let it rip in tune at times

So at least in my marriage all bets are off when tooting is the issue...I''m too damn tired to get out of bed to walk to the bathroom just to toot. I guess it''s not an issue...he''s still here after 17 yrs

BTW you pass gas in your sleep (we all do) so your fiance has heard you or will hear soon

I have to chime in here... it''s not embarassment, it''s just how I was raised. If you can help it you leave the room. That''s just how I am. I don''t think my FI thinks I don''t poop or fart, nor am I embarassed that I do.

I have no problem with farting if it accidentally comes out.... life happens. Just make an effort to not make me sit in your stink if you can.

FI has already been warned that fart control may not be possible once I''m knocked up.

 

[DiamondFlame]

If a relationship can''t survive high decibel toots, it won''t survive anything...

Sure, there''s time and place to be discreet like at the dinner table. But the bedroom where you put your crown jewels out on display isn''t one of them. So take your relationship to the next level and let it rip.

Who knows what such higher comfort level will do to your sex life...

Oh, I was too! But I have no fear of doing it in front of DH - he has seen me do much worse. Like vomit, or fall on my face, or have one of those really messy, snotty cries. There are so many other things I could be worried about, you know?

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Also, I don''t know what any of you ladies are talking about. Women don''t poop OR fart.

 

[Shoopy]

I went through 7 years and almost an entire pregnancy without farting (such a nasty word lol) in front of FI.

Then one day I was cleaning the house and I let one out by mistake. He made the funniest face and then laughed for at least five minutes. I was so embarrassed. He kept telling me not to be embarrassed and that its natural.

I haven''t since then but I think I opened up the gates to allow it in our relationship because I hear him all the time now

Oh yes... I used to get these awful cysts called Bartholin cysts ( and OMFG they hurt worse than anything imaginable! 2 surgeries and they''re finally gone) and FI used to sit with me in the hospital and hold my hand, legs in stirrups, while they lance these awful cysts, and lord only know what came out of them.. blood, pus, nastiness.

Once they''ve seen you in stirrups, I''m pretty sure the mystery is gone!

Good lord, this thread lingers.

 

[tlh]

sugar alcohol is the devil. It makes me sick, and I do whatever I can to avoid it... but when I eat anything that has this in it - I''ll putter around like the jetsons car. Try as I might, I CANNOT hold those in. So whether I be running, working, watching the TV, they''ll come out.. and they sound just like the cartoon. It is terribly embarrassing.. but I still TRY to hold those in while at work. Unfortunately, any other time, I just won''t. In fact, I''ll admit, I actually go "ahhh" just like they do on the coca cola commercials when I let it out... because, yeah, the release is much more pleasant than the discomfort of holding it in.

Sorry if I offended.

Well, actually, it can cause considerable discomfort.

And we eat Mexican here in Texas. Lot ''o beans.

I won''t make any comments, suggestions, or imply that anyone who wouldn''t dream of ''letting go'' could maybe, possibly, jokingly be referred to as a tight a**.

No I wouldn''t ever say that.

This is how I feel too. In the 6 years we have been together I have poofed once in front him, well that he was aware of (I was asleep). A DH just a handful of times, that I am aware of. If you gotta let it go you gotta let it go, but I''d rather poof it out in another area....
